Susan Slept Here (1954)

There are two interesting bottles on Isabella’s vanity.

Both fragrances are by Prince Matchabelli. There’s no way to know exactly what the small crown bottle contained, because the same bottle housed several fragrances by the same brand.

The taller crown-topped bottle housed the Duchess of York eau de toilette, so maybe the other bottle contained the eau de parfum version. This white floral fragrance was launched in 1934.

In another scene other two fragrances join the Duchess of York tall bottle.

The one on the left is a fragrance by Charbert. It could be Breathless (launched in 1933), Grand Prix (launched in 1938) or Fabulous (launched in 1944), because all of them were housed in the same bottle.

The last bottle is Lucien Lelong Sirocco, a musky powdery fragrance launched in 1934.
